button on the WCom2
- Windows Test Terminal window toolbar to switch all ports to the
secondary view. (See Port Window for more
information on the primary and secondary view.)You need to consider the following issues when you are using Test Terminal to send and receive data on multiple ports:
The operating system running on the PC and the specifications for that PC.
The baud rate (or maximum throughput) capability for each port.
The number of open ports actively sending and receiving test data.
Note that when you send and receive test data it is displayed in the
primary view for the port window. There is a trade-off between Test Terminal
efficiency and response time when the primary view for a port window is
actively displaying the test data. If you are running send and receive
test data on multiple ports, you may want to switch to the secondary view
for the port window if you are concerned about Test Terminal's use of
CPU resources. The secondary view decreases the time required by the program
to update the screen. To change all port windows to the secondary view,
click the button on the WCom2
- Windows Test Terminal window toolbar to switch all ports to the
secondary view. (See Port Window for more
information on the primary and secondary view.)
If you leave Test Terminal running, minimize or reduce the display area of the program. Doing so will help reduce the CPU requirements for updating the window.
